Abstract

Small-scale fisheries and their well-being are an important part of the political and institutional history of Norway. This is, first and foremost, due to the significant social and economic role that the fishing industry has played—and still plays— for the country as a whole. But before I give a overview of this history and the crucial formative role of fishers' organizations, let me briefly explain why the organization of small-scale fishers is such a pertinent issue, also in connection with the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (hereafter SSF Guidelines), recently adopted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
